										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, a group of firefighters were <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://en.goodtimes.my/2018/05/05/these-firefighters-couldnt-stop-laughing-when-a-passing-dog-decided-to-give-them-a-helping-hand/">struggling to bring down a tree</a></span> when a hard-working dog decided to stop and help. The dog happened to be passing by with their guardian when they willingly stopped to add some muscle to their labor.</p>
<p>The fireman had tied rope around the tree to pull it down, but the tree was refusing to move. When the dog saw the firefighters in distress, he decided to grab a part of the rope with his mouth and pull. The dog guardian tried to pull his dog away, thinking the dog was intruding on the firefighters work, but the dog refused. He really wanted to help!</p>

<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6773" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-16.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /></p>
<p>The shelter felt Bunny would not be adoptable because of her condition, and so they sent her to a facility that could provide her with the care she needed.</p>
<p>No rescue was able to take her in, and because of this, the shelter decided they needed to euthanize her&#8230;</p>
<figure id="attachment_6774" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6774" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6774" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-15.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6774" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: MyFosterKittens Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>Before the shelter was able to do this, a woman decided to step in and change things for Bunny forever.</p>
<p>Nikki Martinez had experience working with foster animals, and wanted to make sure Bunny had a fair chance of living. She worried Bunny could be too sick to survive, but she was willing to try anything she could.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6775" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6775" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6775" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-14.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6775" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: MyFosterKittens Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>“She was underweight, missing hair and urinating blood,” Martinez told The Dodo. “At one point she was so frail, I was scared to check in on her the following morning because I didn’t know if she would still be alive.”</p>
<p>By miracle, Bunny made it through her first few days in foster care&#8230;</p>
<figure id="attachment_6776" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6776" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6776" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-13.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6776" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: MyFosterKittens Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>And then a few more days.</p>
<p>While Bunny began to recover, she still needed to be monitored. Martinez always worked to find a way to be with her.</p>
<p>“She had to be isolated from my resident pets and other fosters so she was with me the majority of the time,” Martinez said. “I had shirts with giant pockets in the front and she would hang out in the pocket/pouch. I’d take her everywhere I went so she wouldn’t be alone. Doing household chores, walking the dogs, going to the store — she went everywhere with me.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6778" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6778" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6778" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-11.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6778" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: MyFosterKittens Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>As time went on, Bunny grew stronger, and her ringworm infection slowly improved.</p>
<p>Bunny&#8217;s personality began to rise to the surface more each day, until she was nearly ready to find her forever home. Martinez knew, however, that Bunny would need a very specific family to care for her.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6779" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6779" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6779" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-10.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6779" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: MyFosterKittens Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>Fortunately, the perfect family came into the picture to adopt Bunny. They understood that despite her health problems, this was a kitten deserving of love.</p>
<p>“Bunny appeared on my Instagram &#8230; during the holiday of 2016-17,” Marija Jennings, Bunny’s new mom, told The Dodo. “I started following Nikki and immediately unfollowed because I didn&#8217;t think Bunny was going to make it and it was too painful to watch her suffer. But photos of her kept coming up &#8230; and at that point Jack [my partner] and I fell in love with her and became emotionally invested in her recovery.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6777" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6777" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6777" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-12.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6777" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: MyFosterKittens Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<div>
<p>The couple that wanted to adopt Bunny had two cats. The two were clearly ready for a new addition to the family!</p>
<p>“Not only did they adopt her, but they agreed to take over her fungal treatment,” Martinez said. “I couldn’t have found a more loving, dedicated family to adopt her.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6780" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6780" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6780" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-9.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6780" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: cats.without.jobs Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>The couple brought Bunny into their home and gladly took over her needed treatments. While Bunny&#8217;s ringworm was believed to be nearly gone, the case turned out to be far worse than anyone expected.</p>
<p>“At that point, she had contaminated us and our other cats, and pretty much everyone we know,” Jennings said. “As Bunny got older, the treatments became more and more traumatizing and uncomfortable, but Bunny was able to take it in stride.”</p>
<p>Since Bunny&#8217;s hair began to come back, as well as her personality, it was hard to tell just how severe her condition was. Luckily, her parents never once regretted taking in Bunny. All they cared about was helping her heal and live a full life.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6783" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6783" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6783" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-6.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6783" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: cats.without.jobs Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“It took biweekly baths, antifungal medication and decontaminating our apartment from floor to ceiling every week; even then the progress that we made was not very encouraging,” Jennings said. “After a few months of no progress, our ringworm case had become so legendary that our vet enlisted the help of specialists, and they held weekly meetings to discuss how to proceed.”</p>
<p>After trying almost everything, the vet decided to try a new medicine for Bunny&#8211;and it finally worked! Come September of 2017, Bunny was finally healed!</p>
<p>Once everything was said and done, you might think Bunny would end up a bit nervous or anxious&#8230;</p>
<p>But Bunny is an active, happy cat that climbs around all over!</p>
<p>Bunny&#8217;s personality brings joy to everyone in her life, and reminds her family that the challenging journey to recovery was well worth it.</p>
<p>“She has been bathed so much that she has developed an obsession for towels,” Jennings said. “When I come out of the shower, she cries until I wrap her in one, hold her like a baby and kiss her on her forehead over and over while she sleeps in my arms. If I stop kissing her forehead, she bites my nose. She also likes to be carried around the house inside of an Ikea bag and comes running as soon as she hears one crinkle.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6782" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6782" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6782" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cat-ringworm-7.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6782" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: cats.without.jobs Instagram</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While Bunny&#8217;s life began with great challenges, and nearly ended quickly, she has ended up as a loving kitty full of kindness and compassion. Her fighting spirit has allowed her to become a healthy and ringworm-free cat.</p>
<p>“Not all ringworm infections are as bad as Bunny&#8217;s was,” Jennings said. “These cats deserve a chance that they don&#8217;t get in shelters — it just takes someone that is willing to spend the time and have the commitment that is required to make them healthy again.”</p>

<p>“We were contacted about the five puppies in distress on a private property 45 minutes west of Edmonton. All five puppies [were] severely emaciated and dehydrated,” Tessa Lee told The Dodo.</p>
<p>Lee quickly made her way over and was granted access to the property near the Alberta Beach. She was only authorized to gather the five puppies, despite there being other animals seen on the property.</p>
<p>The five puppies were frozen, and very close to death in the cold. Lee drove the puppies to her home, but could not be certain they would survive.</p>
<p>Lee was quick on her feet, thinking carefully of all she could do to help the poor dogs.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6453" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6453" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6453" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Five-Dog-Rescue-3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6453" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Tessa Lee</figcaption></figure>
<p>“I assessed their hydration levels, and put them on heat packs while administering fluids subcutaneously,” Lee said. “We relied on maple syrup to boost glucose levels and slowly began administering recovery wet dog food every two hours via feeding syringes.”</p>
<p>Through her holiday, Lee brought the litter of puppies back to health as best she could. Fortunately, Lee&#8217;s family understood her caring for the dogs. They have come to expect spur of the moment rescues after seeing Lee and her friends help animals in need at the volunteer-run rescue.</p>
<p>“Our families have come to expect some special animal guests joining us for Christmas dinner, whether it is a litter of kittens, puppies or even a &#8216;bottle baby&#8217; lamb,” Lee explained. “We find that this time of year many people are traveling to be with family and therefore more animals in distress are noticed and reported. Our phones are definitely never off during the Christmas season.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6452" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6452" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6452" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Five-Dog-Rescue-4.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6452" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Tessa Lee</figcaption></figure>
<p>As Christmas Eve came about, the bottle-feeding and warmth seemed to do justice for all of the puppies &#8211; except one. While her brothers and sisters were recovering, this little puppy was struggling to even hold herself up.</p>
<p>Because of her red fur, Lee called the puppy Ruby. For Ruby, the next day could be the difference between life and death.</p>
<p>She is holding on and beginning to perk up,” Lee posted on WHARF’s Facebook page December 24. “Keep her in your thoughts and we will update everyone on her after the holidays.”</p>
<p>With great luck, Christmas brought a miracle. Ruby made it through the night and was finally on her feet.</p>
<p>“Merry Christmas everyone!! We have movement,” Lee wrote on Facebook. “This puppy didn&#8217;t have the strength to lift her body up yesterday. She is drinking water and eating on her own now.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6454" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6454" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6454" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Five-Dog-Rescue-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6454" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Tessa Lee</figcaption></figure>
<p>Support came from all corners of the web after Lee&#8217;s post. People even offered to take Ruby in!</p>
<p>. “At this point, Ruby&#8217;s condition is touch and go, and she is under 24/7 monitoring with us,” Lee explained. “The other four seem to be holding fast, we will be keeping everyone updated on Ruby&#8217;s condition as time goes on.”</p>
<p>While helping these puppies has been no simple task, Lee is more than happy to do it.</p>
<p>“Special cases such as these just require a huge dedication of time and effort, whether that&#8217;s waking up every two hours to feed them or monitoring alertness throughout the night,” Lee added. “Every animal deserves to be cared for and over the last decade we have done everything in our power to provide that to every animal that comes through our rescue.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6455" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6455" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6455" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Five-Dog-Rescue-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6455" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Tessa Lee</figcaption></figure>
<p>If progress continues as it has, Ruby&#8217;s siblings should be ready for adoption by some time in February!</p>
<p>For those interested in adopting a pet, Lee has some careful words of advice.“We urge people that are considering bringing an animal into their families to ensure that they are able to afford to spay/neuter their animal so situations like this no longer happen.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>When Laura Ringenberger was told to evacuate her home, she feared she would never see her cat again.</h5>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6042" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Napa-California-Cat-6.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /></p>
<p>While Laura Ringenberger, her husband, and two children were visiting with relatives in Napa, California, they were asked to evacuate.</p>
<p>“When we got that phone call, we didn’t think much of it,” Ringenberger told The Dodo. “But when we walked outside, the moon was pink, and we were staring at raging fires across the way.”</p>
<p>Ringenberger woke her children and had them sent to safety with relatives. Ringenberger, however, was not leaving without her cat, Kitty Kitty Star.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6044" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6044" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6044" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Napa-California-Cat-4.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6044" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Laura Ringenberger</figcaption></figure>
<p>“My husband was knocking on our neighbors’ door to make sure they were up and moving — they were an older couple,” Ringenberger said. “While he was doing that, I was calling for the kitty. I called for 15 to 20 minutes.”</p>
<p>Locating Kitty Kitty Star was easier said than done. As a primarily outdoor cat, Kitty Kitty Star spent most of her days exploring. As time passed trying to locate the cat, the fires slowly got closer.</p>
<p>“I did not want to leave her,” Ringenberger said. “None of us wanted to leave her, but it was a life or death situation. People have died in these fires.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6046" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6046" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6046" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Napa-California-Cat-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6046" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Laura Ringenberger</figcaption></figure>
<p>While Ringenberger knew her cat was resilient, she still feared the idea of losing her cat forever.</p>
<p>On Monday, Ringenberger and her family remained with family in another part of Napa. Anxiously, the family awaited news.</p>
<p>When the news came, it was shocking. Their house had burnt down.</p>
<p>Ringenberger could only think of one thing: Kitty Kitty Star.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6047" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6047" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6047" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Napa-California-Cat-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6047" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Laura Ringenberger</figcaption></figure>
<p>When Ringenberger found out she would be able to see the house, she ran into a man filming for ABC News. She asked him to take her to her home.</p>
<p>“It’s just ash and dust,” Ringenberger said. “It’s a lot to process.”</p>
<p>Ringenberger began yelling out for the cat, but nothing happened.</p>
<p>Until suddenly&#8230;</p>
<p>“Far off in the distance, we heard her. ‘Meow, meow,’” Ringenberger said. “It was a moment of giddiness. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe she got through all of this.’”</p>
<p>Ringenberger immediately grabbed Kitty Kitty Star and cuddled with her.</p>
<figure id="attachment_6043" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6043" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6043" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Napa-California-Cat-5.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6043" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Laura Ringenberger</figcaption></figure>
<p>“You could tell that she’d been in the thick of it,” Ringenberger said. “She was all brown and smoky.”<br />
Despite all of the devastation, Kitty Kitty Star was okay &#8211; and that was all that mattered.</p>
<p>“I’ve never heard her more vocal,” she added. “That first day driving back, she just gave me the business all day long, as if she was telling me, ‘How dare you for leaving me,’ or ‘You wouldn’t believe what I saw.’”</p>
<p>After losing their home, Ringenberger&#8217;s family is staying at a friend&#8217;s condo in Lake Tahoe.</p>
<p>“Kitty Kitty Star is now an indoor cat, and my daughter’s really happy because that’s all she ever wanted,” Ringenberger said.</p>
<p>Kitty Kitty Star seems to be loving her new role.</p>
<p>“This place where we’re staying has two flights of stairs, and she’s been bouncing up and down the stairs,” Ringenberger said. “She’s a very happy kitty. We woke up this morning, and she was curled up in bed with us, which was a sweet thing.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_6045" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6045" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6045" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Napa-California-Cat-3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-6045" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Laura Ringenberger</figcaption></figure>
<p>While figuring out the future may be a challenge for the Ringenbergers, the family still has each other &#8211; even Kitty Kitty Star.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>This charming kitty knows exactly what he wants.</h5>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/f01cb136-d019-4b1c-b7f3-5ff2cf5f493f/Police-department-cat-800.jpg" /><br />
At Columbia Police Department in South Carolina, officers noticed a cat outside of the station. He had arrived one weekend a month ago.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/e8863fd3-b14f-4be4-b2d0-1772b636bc6c/montgomery-kingsley-2.jpg" /></p>
<p>Rather than be subtle and cute to get what he wanted, this cat demanded everyone&#8217;s attention and love!</p>
<p>To no surprise, the police officers could not resist.The officers adjusted to the cat&#8217;s presence quickly, despite his originally uninvited presence.</p>
<p>It did not take long for the cat to take overlaps.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/ac2c2287-a936-4c4b-a622-a200d9ccbc8b/montgomery-kingsley-4.jpg" /></p>
<p>One of the officers fell in love with the cat &#8211; so much he took a selfie with him!</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/01d90748-ae58-4f7a-83e1-8f4bd306a0b7/montgomery-kingsley-1.jpg" /></p>
<p>And <em>of course</em>, someone caught a picture of the moment taking place.</p>
<p>(Clearly, the cat is getting all of the attention he is looking for.)</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/0ba0c8e7-8ae6-4578-a229-b68c56943c61/montgomery-kingsley-3.jpg" /></p>
<p>Knowing the cat likely had a family somewhere, the officers decided to try to send the cat back home.</p>
<p>&#8230;But the cat wanted no part of this.</p>
<p>As the next day came, the cat returned again. His attention-loving ways had not gone anywhere.</p>
<p>Officer Brandon Montgomery had his first encounter with the cat on this day, as he had been off work over the weekend.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whenever an officer would go in or out, he would run back inside real quick,&#8221; Montgomery said. &#8220;He wanted to be pet and held. He likes being on shoulders, very much. He’ll climb right up.&#8221;</p>
<p>The officers posted photos of the cat online in an attempt to find the original owners. No one claimed the cat, however, so instead it was time to make a choice. Rather than send the cat to a shelter, Officer Montgomery volunteered to adopt the cat.</p>
<p>The cat, now known as Kingsley, has made himself quite comfortable in the Montgomery home.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/69503e01-ea2c-48a4-870b-ad422680c231/montgomery-kingsley-6.jpg" /></p>
<p>Kingsley is not the only rescue pet in the home, giving him plenty of company &#8211; including a dog and two other cats.</p>
<p>“(Kingsley is) getting along really well with the dog,” Montgomery said. “Our other cats have met him under controlled circumstances. We’re slowly introducing each of them to each other. They’re being normal cats, so they hiss and puff.”</p>
<p>Did we mention there are two toddlers in the Montgomery home as well?</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m a pet lover,&#8221; Montgomery said. &#8220;I consider my pets parts of the family. He’s doing very well.&#8221;</p>
<p>While we may never know why Kingsley decided to show up at the police station in the first place, it sure is great he did! From the start, it seemed Kingsley knew just what he wanted and where to find it.</p>

<p>&#8220;It worked out for him,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It definitely worked out.&#8221;</p>

She was a stray dog with a face very different from other dogs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sid has experienced serious injuries that led to facial paralysis on one side of her face.

Sid has such a loving smile and has a warm heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To help Sid find a home, Fort Worth Animal Care and Control had her transferred to a rehabilitation center for dogs known as Animal Hope. While Sid&#8217;s appearance makes her stand out, she is radiant! Animal Hope feels confident someone will surely fall in love with her. Her personality is nothing but love, and she loves to eat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/e0fa4cae-18b8-4882-84f8-671ed8344d27/different-dogs-sid-1.jpg&#8221; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dogs like sid are waiting anxiously at shelters all across the planet, so if you are looking to adopt, never hesitate to adopt those that are a little different!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source:&lt;a href=&#8221;https://iheartdogs.com/dog-face-beauty-forever/&#8221;&gt;&nbsp;iHeartDogs&lt;img src=&#8221;https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/2eb3536d-6b7b-4cbc-aae5-2f2fe155a354/different-dogs-sid-6.jpg&#8221; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;__TVE_SHORTCODE_RAW___</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>For many pets, leaving behind siblings in the litter is part of life&#8230;but in some incredible cases, these siblings may cross paths again.</h5>

A 4-month-old German Shepherd-Border Collie named Sevro au Barka was venturing to the park with his owner, Calvin Crook. While enjoying the autumn weather, the pair noticed someone in the distance&#8230;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/4054f815-3d4a-41d8-8510-fd94eb877d69/dog-brothers-reconnect-10.jpg" /></p>
<p>To the great amazement of Calvin Crook, Sevro au Barka went bolting across the grass!</p>
<p>“The two dogs ran right for each other and began a full-on wrestling playtime instantly,” Crook told The Dodo. “They seemed very similar and comfortable right away.”</p>
<p>While the likelihood of this encounter was close to zero, Crook knew there was something valuable in how these dogs interacted with each other.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/bba59245-dde2-4c8d-b043-a46b51875b93/dog-brothers-reconnect-2.jpg" /></p>
<p>“There is definitely a distinctive way they play with each other compared to other puppies they meet,” Crook said.</p>
<p>On usual one-hour walks in Sue Higgins Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Sevro usually comes across up to thirty dogs! It is very unusual for there to be a loving or gentle greeting in the process of these encounters. On some occasions, Sevro may show interest in playing, but in other situations, he merely sniffs and moves on.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/d2a3551d-ccf0-4109-997e-cda8d09f4711/dog-brothers-reconnect-4.jpg" /></p>
<p>In this moment, Sevro was leaping around excitedly. Crook decided to have a conversation with the other dog&#8217;s owners &#8211; and that&#8217;s when things started to click.</p>
<p>The other dog was also a Shepherd-Collie mix, and was similarly 4-months-old. The dog was named Harley.</p>
<p>“[Sevro] looks like he is a furry black bear, with brown socks on,” Crook said, while Harley is a golden brown, and yet, there was something so familiar about them together.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/c63e1982-0685-4551-b438-b1c69e7666fd/dog-brothers-reconnect-3.jpg" /></p>
<p>Crook had saved photographs of Sevro&#8217;s birth parents on his phone, so he quickly took them out to show the other owner.</p>
<p>“It was then we found out they were siblings,” Crook said.</p>
<p>Harley was Sevro&#8217;s brother!</p>
<p>After being separated for nine weeks,  the two were thrilled to see each other again.</p>
<p>For the puppies, it was an odd adjustment coming from a large litter of other dogs.</p>
<p>“When he first got to his new home, he seemed happy and playful, but the first night was tough for him,” Crook said. “It was hard for him to go from having eight furry bedmates to alone on the floor.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/9480f494-9372-4104-9d87-289eac9916e1/dog-brothers-reconnect-6.jpg" /></p>
<p>“I know you aren&#8217;t supposed to have them sleep in the bed with you, but now he has his own little corner of the bed that makes him really happy,” Crook explained.</p>
<p>Now, Sevro and Harley get to spend time together on a regular basis playing in the park.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://coschedule.s3.amazonaws.com/111406/58398e78-e4e9-4006-8f51-1c869295f47c/dog-brothers-reconnect-5.jpg" /></p>
<p>“Sevro is a ball of energy,” Crook added. “He will never stop playing as long as there is someone willing to wrestle.” And when they see each other, Harley is always happy to oblige.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He is one of the hundreds of thousands of pit bull mixes entered into shelters each year. For Koda, life was off to a rough start &#8211; until a special program changed things forever.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9047" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9047" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9047" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-1.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-1.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-1-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9047" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>While Koda was waiting to be adopted at the Kent Animal Shelter in Calverton, New York, the Animal Farm Foundation noted that he would be a great candidate for the Assistance Dog Program. This program takes qualified pit bulls from shelters and gives them the necessary training to become service dogs.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9048" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9048" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9048" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-2.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-2.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-2-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9048" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>“All dogs are individuals, and while some tend to prefer staying cozy on the couch all day as a family pet, others have the right characteristics to perform service work,” Bernice Clifford, director of behavior and training at AFF, told The Dodo. “In Koda’s case, he had a great personality, was very comfortable with being around other dogs and people and had the desire and energy to do the work.”</p>

<p>Koda began his life at a farm and enjoyed roaming around with the cows. Unfortunately, the landlord did not enjoy the animals mingling and demanded that Koda be rehomed. When a new home was found, animal control checked up on the new owners &#8211; and it turned out they had been convicted of animal cruelty in the past. Koda was taken out of the home and was placed in a shelter.</p>

<p>Koda spent a year training for basic obedience and understanding environments to be experienced with his handler (for instance, grocery stores, airports, plans, or public transportation). He learned about how to respond to seizures, how to pick up dropped items, and how to call for help when needed.</p>

<p>Once he completed his training, Koda was paired with a handler that matched him perfectly &#8211; Fiona Gilbert, and exercise physiologist from San Francisco, California.</p>
<p>As a sufferer of multiple sclerosis, or MS, Filber experiences a number of symptoms on a daily basis. When she saw a documentary about a woman with the same diagnosis utilizing a service dog, she felt inspired to try the same.</p>

<p>Gilbert applied for a service pit bull in 2014, and has waited three years to be paired &#8211; an average waiting period for a service dog, according to Gilbert.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9052" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9052" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9052" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-6.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-6.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-6-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9052" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>“It was my husband who first said, ‘What you need is a pit bull service dog,’ and I remember saying, ‘Don’t be stupid, there’s no such thing,’” Gilbert said. “And here I am with an ultra-amazing pit bull service dog.”</p>
<p>“It’s not often that you see a movement therapist needing a service dog to help them move and do their job,” Gilbert expplained. “I travel a lot for work and my job is physically demanding.”</p>
<p>Gilbert works with patients suffering from neurological disorders, much like herself. Her job can leave her exhausted. With Koda, Gilbert is able to use less of her body strength to work, allowing her to better focus on the task at hand &#8211; helping her clients!</p>
<figure id="attachment_9053" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9053" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9053" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-7.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-7.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-7-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9053" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>“Koda braces me when I do [flexibility training] work on my clients so I am not so tired at the end of the day,” Gilbert said. “I’m able to do things like make dinner and have a conversation with my husband without falling asleep on the couch or into my soup.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_9054" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9054" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9054" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-8.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-8.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-8-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9054" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>Before Koda came into her life, daily tasks such as walking could be extremely difficult. “Walking is one of the trickiest [and most tiring] things to do when you have a neurological disorder,” she said. “With Koda, I can trust him to make sure that I am safe and walking well, so I don’t need as much energy to walk.”</p>
<p>The exhaustion Gilbert felt from her job caused difficulty managing her MS.</p>
<p>“When I get exhausted, my symptoms flare,” Gilbert said. “Travel became difficult. I look healthy, but I can’t form words, so I would appear to be drunk and sometimes denied boarding a plane. Having Koda means I am not as tired and my invisible disability becomes visible.”</p>
<p>While Koda is a hardworker, he also enjoys his free time. He loves basking in the sun&#8230;</p>
<p>Snuggling&#8230;</p>
<figure id="attachment_9055" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9055" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9055" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-9.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-9.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/service-dog-makes-remarkable-difference-for-new-owner-9-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9055" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>Playing with squeaky toys&#8230;</p>
<p>And having snacks!</p>
<figure id="attachment_5372" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5372" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/pitbull-service-dog-15.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5372" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Fiona Gilbert</figcaption></figure>
<p>The relationship between Gilbert and Koda helps to tear down negative stereotypes about pit bulls.</p>
<p>“I’d never owned a pit bull before Koda, but I was familiar with their public image and thought it was unfair to sideline an entire breed,” Gilbert said. “Seeing us work, people have been learning about dogs as individuals.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Koda has had quite the roller coaster in life and so have I,” Gilbert said. “But being a pit bull or a person who has a diagnosis handed to them or a crappy history doesn’t define who they are. It is what they do with it, it is how we respond back to the world that defines us.”</p>

							<h4>Sophie the cat was rescued when she was 3 years old. </h4><p>She was found in a hoarding situation with many other animals, all stacked in cages &#8211; one on top of the other.

Sophie and Scottie were adopted around the same time! </p><p>“It&#8217;s very possible they were at the same place and each put in different shelters, but I really don&#8217;t know,” Viscusi said. “Just makes us wonder. Especially because Scottie&#8217;s owners said he hasn&#8217;t gotten along with any other cats and are shocked at how much he loves being around Sophie.”</p><figure id="attachment_4623" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4623" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-4623" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-9.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-9.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-9-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4623" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Instagram</figcaption></figure><p>While there is no way to know for sure if Scottie and Sophie came from the same place, but they have grown to be best friends. They love spending time together! </p><p>“Every time we are outside when he is, he runs right over to hang out,” Viscusi said to The Dodo. “In the summer it&#8217;s several times a week. If he sees us on our balcony from his lawn he comes over and cries up at us then goes and sits at our backdoor waiting for us to bring her out. It&#8217;s really cute.” </p><figure id="attachment_4624" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4624" style="width: 735px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-4624" src="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-99.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="735" srcset="https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-99.jpg 735w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-99-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-99-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.pawsocute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cat-Bed-99-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4624" class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit: Instagram</figcaption></figure><p>While Sophie may have come from a difficult past, it has not dampened her loving and sweet ways.
